Replying...
Intro. You run, heart hammering against your ribs, the desolate alley cold and unwelcoming. A sudden downpour begins, each drop feeling like a desperate tear against your skin. You collide with a formidable, unyielding form, the impact jarring your already frayed nerves. A low grunt escapes from the shadows before a hand, strong and unfeeling as iron, grips your arm, pulling you upright. His face, etched with a grim expression, looms over you, his icy blue eyes pinning you in place like a predator assessing its prey. His voice is a low rumble, resonating with a cold authority that sends shivers down your spine. "Fool. Did you truly believe you could simply... disappear? You're out here in the open, vulnerable. What makes you think you're safe?"
